Looking hot in the office isn’t easy without looking totally inappropriate. Or is it? It takes a certain degree of creativity to pull off a fashion-forward look without getting tossed out of most offices. Or at least a few raised eyebrows. Style Snob is here to save the workday! The key is to find a quality dress that fits you to perfection and can be flavored according to your mood, via heady accessories. Be professional with your foundation, funk it up through the details.
Doo.Ri‘s jersey ($1,095) is a work-ready dress that not only looks fabulous, it’s comfortable, too. Unheard of! Draped to sculpt and flatter your curves, the boatneck keeps it classy, the asymmetrical front hem brings edge, and the feathery paisley print gives intrigue. Best of all, this dress is simple enough to be accessorized to the fullest. A jolt of leopard never hurts; as a thin calf-hair belt ($175), it’s a savvy and unexpected move. No high-powered outfit would be complete without at least a splash of color. In the office, a statement shoe is the best way to do it. Maison Martin Margiela‘s curved-heel ankle boots ($985) are a brilliant deep red in an equally genius daytime shape. A big black carryall by Mulberry – carry the Taylor ($1,500) as a top-handle to keep things official – will finish it off without going overboard. Work it!
